She has never spoken about menopause . For the first time, breaking her silence on what's become an important conversation for women's health, Sudha Murty speaks about the symptoms and how she is dealing with this life stage of menopause.

Sudha completed her engineering at a time when it was not easy for females to become an engineer and worked for a while. She has two children, son Rohan Murty, and daughter Akshata Murty, married to Rishi Sunak, becoming the first lady of the United Kingdom. Back in 1981, it was Sudha who gave her husband Narayana Murthy Rs 10,000 as the seed capital to set up Infosys. The money came from her personal emergency fund. Today Infosys is a 6,96,066 Cr company. Former Chairperson of Infosys, Sudha Murty's bestseller books include How I Taught My Grandmother to Read, Dollar Bahu, Mahashweta, besides 30 more across various genres that have been loved by all age groups.

Sudha Murty broke many barriers and myths around menopause. "When you get menopause you should not think it is a disease," Murty shares breaking her silence on a subject often considered taboo during her growing up. "I should accept that my skin will wrinkle," she shared candidly in a message to women.

She is amongst the most credible and impactful people in recent Indian history who has built her career from being an engineer to driving early days of Infosys and then becoming a philanthropist.
